Chime is Dessa’s fourth album in a long career spent forging her own path. As CEO of the Minnesota-based hip-hop collective Doomtree, she has undoubtedly contemplated what it means to be a woman in a position of power, and she delves into these themes throughout Chime. Bending genres from hip-hop to pop, Dessa’s skillful rapping and everywoman singing voice explore where empowerment comes from.
